3
00:02:52,214 --> 00:02:54,425
Tamra is a legend.
4
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:57,887
Yeah, yeah, she's had two
hitless albums back-to-back,
5
00:02:58,012 --> 00:03:00,848
but someone else's take
isn't the ticket.
6
00:03:01,807 --> 00:03:03,392
We need hers.
7
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:06,604
We need someone who can
get her to actually open up
8
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:08,355
and be honest.
9
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,277
Somebody who can get her to
say something brutal or cocky,
10
00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:14,612
whatever it actually is.
11
00:03:14,737 --> 00:03:17,615
What does she still want
from music?
12
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:19,575
What does she still think was,
13
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,536
you know, missing
from that last project?
14
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:27,458
The only thing a story about a legend
like Tamra Camden is missing
15
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:30,669
is as much Tamra Camden
as possible.
16
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:32,171
Damn good point, Ariel.
17
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:34,340
I'd read that.
18
00:03:34,465 --> 00:03:36,175
Thank you.
19
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,093
Uh, I mean,
I would love to maybe--
20
00:03:38,219 --> 00:03:39,803
What about Chris Wreath
to write it?
21
00:03:39,929 --> 00:03:41,680
I mean, he would be
inspired, right?
22
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:44,808
Yeah, strong agree.
I'll send him a note.
23
00:03:44,934 --> 00:03:45,935
Done.
24
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,353
Okay. Good job.
25
00:03:49,313 --> 00:03:51,065
Moving on.
26
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:52,983
On to the M.O.B.
27
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:23,722
It's just driving me
fucking nuts.
28
00:04:23,847 --> 00:04:26,684
I've been there
for three years.
29
00:04:26,809 --> 00:04:27,935
Three years of my life,
30
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:31,230
and I haven't written
a single real story.
31
00:04:31,355 --> 00:04:32,356
- Yes, you have.
- No, I haven't.
32
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:33,774
What are you talking about?
33
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:35,943
I loved that piece on that,
uh... What was it?
34
00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:38,112
Blind martial arts instructor.
35
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:39,905
- Oh, yeah, okay.
- How'd he do that three-finger thing?
36
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:41,282
- Oh. Like...
- It was like...
37
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,164
- Wow, you look cute today.
- Stop.
38
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:52,293
- Okay.
- Okay.
39
00:04:52,418 --> 00:04:53,460
This is how I see it.
40
00:04:53,585 --> 00:04:55,462
Step one,
41
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:57,131
write about famous people
42
00:04:57,256 --> 00:04:59,216
because they're
inherently fascinating.
43
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:01,093
That's where I'm at right now.
44
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:03,137
- Step two...
- "Famous people."
45
00:05:03,262 --> 00:05:05,848
Okay. Step two,
46
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:07,933
people start
to find me fascinating
47
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:09,685
'cause I'm writing
about fascinating people.
48
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:10,936
And then, three,
49
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:12,396
take that goodwill and
50
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:15,149
use it to write whatever
the fuck I want.
51
00:05:15,274 --> 00:05:16,191
What's the...
52
00:05:16,317 --> 00:05:18,444
what's the end goal
of all that, though?
53
00:05:18,569 --> 00:05:19,570
Like, what's the point?
54
00:05:19,695 --> 00:05:22,323
- Write a book. Like...
- Mmm.
55
00:05:22,448 --> 00:05:24,116
Books, plural.
56
00:05:24,241 --> 00:05:26,452
Then, show people that...
57
00:05:27,286 --> 00:05:28,412
I don't know...
58
00:05:29,747 --> 00:05:31,123
that I'm a good fucking writer.
59
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:32,708
Show them what I... I think
60
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:35,919
and... and...
and feel, love, hate.
61
00:05:36,045 --> 00:05:38,797
But at this rate,
I'll be, like, 35
62
00:05:38,922 --> 00:05:40,674
before that ever happens,
which is basically 40.
63
00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:42,509
Sorry, no offense.
64
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:45,012
Whoa, hold up. I'm...
I... I'm only 32.
65
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:47,681
- What the hell?
- I'm like... I rounded up.
66
00:05:47,806 --> 00:05:49,099
- That's wack.
- That's my fault.
67
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:50,559
- I... I rounded up.
- Okay, also,
68
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:53,228
is this one of those vents
where you just need to vent
69
00:05:53,354 --> 00:05:55,773
or one of the rare vents where
you actually want advice?
70
00:05:55,898 --> 00:05:57,358
Wow. Okay.
71
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,568
The former. Right.
72
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,445
Can you pass me the...
73
00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:02,696
I am open.
74
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:04,782
I will take advice. I'm open.
75
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:08,160
- For real?
- Yeah, for real.
76
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:09,661
Okay.
77
00:06:09,787 --> 00:06:13,082
Well, with love and compassion,
78
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:15,709
I don't think anyone gives
a fuck about what you feel
79
00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:17,252
or love or hate.
80
00:06:17,378 --> 00:06:19,421
Listen,
you're only 27 years old.
81
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:21,131
You didn't grow up poor or rich.
82
00:06:21,256 --> 00:06:23,467
You have a good job,
a perfect bill of health.
83
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,177
No addictions, no enemies.
84
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:27,846
Hell, you've never let
anyone in close enough,
85
00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:32,518
present company included,
to actually break your heart.
86
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:35,562
And your parents are perfect, which is
why you always shit on my mom.
87
00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:37,606
No, I always shit on your mom
'cause she's fucking crazy.
88
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:39,608
Your problem is that
you're middle.
89
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,902
Which is okay. Most people are.
90
00:06:42,027 --> 00:06:44,405
But it's experience
that gives people perspective,
91
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:48,117
and it's perspective
that gives opinions their value,
92
00:06:48,242 --> 00:06:49,993
and yours is...
93
00:06:50,119 --> 00:06:51,620
it's middle as fuck.
94
00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:54,665
Okay.
95
00:06:58,460 --> 00:06:59,837
This eel is delicious,
by the way.
96
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:01,839
Yeah, it's really good.
No, it's really, really good.
97
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:03,549
Are you okay?
98
00:07:03,674 --> 00:07:05,592
'Cause I could...
I could take that back.
99
00:07:05,717 --> 00:07:06,969
The eel is really good.
100
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:10,722
So...
101
00:07:10,848 --> 00:07:12,224
I mean,
now is the time, then.
102
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:13,684
But why?
Why is now the time?
103
00:07:13,809 --> 00:07:15,269
I mean, all
the pictures are dropping in.
104
00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:17,563
Like, do you think he had
a ton of work done to his face?
105
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:19,148
Probably, but I'm calling
bullshit on the whole thing.
106
00:07:19,273 --> 00:07:20,524
What's up?
107
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:22,192
There's a rumor flying around
that Moretti's back.
108
00:07:22,317 --> 00:07:25,028
Like, "Moretti" Moretti?
Oh, shit.
109
00:07:25,154 --> 00:07:26,363
I know. It's a big day for me.
110
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:27,948
Dina Simone
was my first ringtone.
111
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:29,533
Dina Simone was everyone's
first ringtone.
112
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:30,784
Well, don't be a dick.
113
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:32,411
Ooh, Stan.
114
00:07:32,536 --> 00:07:33,537
You hear?
115
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:34,872
Moretti's back.
116
00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:37,374
- Oh, my God. You, too?
- I...
117
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:39,042
Are we done? Huh?
118
00:07:39,168 --> 00:07:41,420
I mean, if social media wants
to freak out over every rumor,
119
00:07:41,545 --> 00:07:44,173
so be it, but you guys
are supposed to be journalists.
120
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,425
Besides, no one
has seen or heard from Moretti
121
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:47,759
in 30 years.
122
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:49,428
If there was an album,
123
00:07:49,553 --> 00:07:52,556
I am sure they'd release it
the same way he always did.
124
00:07:53,182 --> 00:07:56,602
Uh, his publicist,
Soledad Yusef,
125
00:07:56,727 --> 00:07:59,980
would mail in a VHS of him
126
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:03,108
nonsensically just rattling off
Moretti's career highlights
127
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:05,986
and proclaiming that
a new album was on the way.
128
00:08:06,111 --> 00:08:07,529
It was nauseating.
129
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:08,864
- Look at this.
- What's this?
130
00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:10,991
Hello, my loves.
131
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:12,326
Hello.
132
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:13,660
Holy shit,
that's actually him.
133
00:08:13,785 --> 00:08:16,246
It's been a long time
since we've done this dance.
134
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:20,959
But I think this dance we do
is a timeless one. Don't you?
135
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:25,297
A lot has changed
in the last 27 years.
136
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:26,840
Oh, my God.
137
00:08:26,965 --> 00:08:28,717
Can you believe
it's been 27 years?
138
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:29,843
Look at me.
139
00:08:29,968 --> 00:08:32,095
I'm like a silver fox.
140
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:35,224
Okay. I'm having too much fun.
141
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:36,850
Enough about me.
142
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:40,395
What about him? What about him?
143
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:42,272
Mr. Glam-boyant himself.
144
00:08:42,397 --> 00:08:45,359
The Velvet Caller. Don Diva.
145
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:48,487
The Wizard of Wiggle.
146
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:52,783
The icon responsible for
the highest-grossing world tour in history.
147
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:56,912
The only living artist to
secure 38 number one singles.
148
00:08:57,037 --> 00:08:58,038
Yes. Yes.
149
00:08:58,163 --> 00:09:01,124
It is with... Ooh!
150
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:05,712
Unmitigated joy that I announce to you, my babies,
151
00:09:05,837 --> 00:09:07,714
he's bringing you a gift.
152
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:13,095
The greatest album
of modern times.
153
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:18,308
Future times,
all the times, really.
154
00:09:18,433 --> 00:09:21,144
And, in typical
Debutante fashion,
155
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:25,065
he'll be playing for a select
group of people this weekend
156
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:27,859
before he gives this
new blessing unto the world.
157
00:09:27,985 --> 00:09:30,404
And there is more to come.
158
00:09:30,529 --> 00:09:31,905
So much more.
159
00:09:53,719 --> 00:09:55,095
...Alfred Moretti.
160
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:51,652
Oh, shit.
161
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,087
He's back, my babies.
162
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,758
Ugh. Classic.
163
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:16,885
Truly a perfect album,
164
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:20,222
up there with Thriller,
Hotel California, Nebraska.
165
00:11:20,347 --> 00:11:22,307
There's a second one.
166
00:11:22,432 --> 00:11:24,476
This is for, uh...
167
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:26,353
Ariel Ecton.
168
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:29,272
- Who?
- Seriously?
169
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:35,487
So, what do
you think of the news of Moretti
170
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:37,322
coming out of retirement?
171
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:39,825
Oh, my gosh,
I mean, it feels like a dream,
172
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:41,993
you know? I used to listen
to him all the time as a kid,
173
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:43,704
and now my kids
get their own Moretti album.
174
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:45,997
And you, sir?
175
00:11:46,123 --> 00:11:48,625
Moretti sleeps 12 hours a day,
176
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:51,002
and then stands 12 hours a day.
177
00:11:51,128 --> 00:11:52,629
Like, it's
a "balance of life" thing.
178
00:11:53,422 --> 00:11:55,507
This is my favorite rumor
about this guy.
179
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:59,302
Somebody's trying to suggest
that he bought Freddie Mercury's teeth.
180
00:12:01,304 --> 00:12:03,098
- And he might--
- Today's top story,
181
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,350
Alfred Moretti,
arguably the biggest
182
00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:06,852
pop star of the '90s,
183
00:12:06,977 --> 00:12:10,188
has resurfaced
after a 30-year hiat...
184
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:42,012
Smell that desert air.
185
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:43,930
Oh, yeah, it's amazing.
186
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:45,390
- Right? Oh.
- Hello.
187
00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:47,768
- Hello. Oh, okay. Okay.
- Oh.
188
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:52,564
Ms. Ecton. Mr. Sullivan.
189
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:55,066
Welcome to Green River, Utah.
190
00:12:56,067 --> 00:12:58,820
It'll be an absolute honor
191
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,655
to spend this weekend with you.
192
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:01,698
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
193
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:02,991
Namaste.
194
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,409
The other guests
are waiting just this way.
195
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:05,660
Please follow me
196
00:13:05,786 --> 00:13:08,705
as we board the infamous Louise.
197
00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:11,541
Holy shit.
198
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:12,626
Slow Lo.
199
00:13:14,586 --> 00:13:17,589
So, uh, rumor had it
that when Moretti toured,
200
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:19,424
his outfits were
so damn heavy that the--
201
00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:22,302
Yeah, they would weigh the bus
down, and they would have to,
202
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:26,556
uh, stop to fuel twice as much
'cause it was so slow and low.
203
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:28,058
- Hence the name.
- Yeah.
204
00:13:28,183 --> 00:13:29,434
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
205
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,020
I just...
I did a little research.
206
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,022
No, that's impressive.
That's really impressive.
207
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,233
- Thanks.
- Yeah. Nice job, rookie.
208
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:37,567
Okay.
209
00:13:37,692 --> 00:13:39,611
Well, lookie here.
210
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:42,739
Hey. Long time, huh?
211
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:44,157
Hey.
212
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:46,076
Oh, everybody, uh, meet Ariel.
213
00:13:46,201 --> 00:13:48,787
Some young blood from
the magazine tagging along.
214
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:50,080
- Hi.
- This is Clara,
215
00:13:50,205 --> 00:13:52,040
who you know of, I'm sure.
216
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:56,795
And, of course, Bianca Tyson,
the top paparazza in the game.
217
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,046
Stan.
218
00:13:58,171 --> 00:13:59,798
- Clara. Clara.
- Stan.
219
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:02,092
Stan.
220
00:14:02,217 --> 00:14:03,635
I see you, uh,
221
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,053
took a break from being
222
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:07,180
the most hated sex symbol on TV
to join us.
223
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:09,182
Key words, "sex symbol..."
224
00:14:09,307 --> 00:14:11,184
Thank you... And "TV."
225
00:14:11,309 --> 00:14:12,602
How's print media treating you?
226
00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:13,728
Oh.
227
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:15,272
Nice to meet you, dear.
228
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:17,065
Oh, nice to meet you.
229
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:18,316
I'm not sure
who that is.
230
00:14:19,150 --> 00:14:20,610
That is Emily Katz.
231
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:22,779
- She's an influencer.
- Oh, Lord help us.
232
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:25,115
Wait, sorry.
Is she talking to Bill Lotto?
233
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,783
Oh, I know, right?
234
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:27,909
You'd think some of the sheen
235
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:30,704
would wear off after
he pivoted to podcasts.
236
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:33,456
I'm surprised he even came,
to be honest.
237
00:14:33,582 --> 00:14:35,834
What do you mean? Why would
he miss the event of the century?
238
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:37,669
They hated each other.
239
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:41,131
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are about to depart
240
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:44,301
on our four-hour-and-eight-minute journey.
241
00:14:44,426 --> 00:14:48,763
Please feel free to luxuriate
until our arrival.
242
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:51,558
Thank you.
243
00:15:19,544 --> 00:15:22,505
Oh, my God. Cindy Crawford
is such a legend.
244
00:15:22,631 --> 00:15:23,840
She's my favorite
of his girlfriends.
245
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:25,425
Oh, that is sexy.
246
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:27,093
What are they doing?
247
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:37,145
Stan, have you been
reading this?
248
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,313
Hmm?
249
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:40,565
Oh, it's from the basket, right?
250
00:15:42,317 --> 00:15:43,944
I haven't. What's the haps?
251
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:49,324
I mean, the haps are very,
uh, specific. They...
252
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,826
Hey, so this is a good time
to establish our game plan.
253
00:15:51,952 --> 00:15:53,244
Oh. Yeah.
254
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:54,371
Okay. Yes, actually.
255
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:56,623
I was, uh, writing
some stuff down earlier.
256
00:15:56,748 --> 00:15:57,666
- Great.
- Yeah.
257
00:15:57,791 --> 00:16:00,335
So, you know, obviously,
258
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,671
I'll be the one who writes
the review and the piece,
259
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:08,093
but what I could really use
your help with is some note-taking.
260
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:14,641
Okay. Yeah, um, I... I would...
261
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:15,642
- You know, I could share--
262
00:16:15,767 --> 00:16:17,310
- Nah, just the note-taking.
Anything you see.
263
00:16:17,435 --> 00:16:19,729
Weird books or, uh,
264
00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:21,356
I don't know, orgies, whatever.
265
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,274
Just, uh, write it down,
266
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,860
and I'll give it a look at the end
of the weekend. Got it?
267
00:16:26,987 --> 00:16:28,697
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
268
00:16:30,615 --> 00:16:33,159
You know, I'm...
I'm really happy for you.
269
00:17:23,752 --> 00:17:25,253
Who are these people?
270
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:26,963
Moretti diehards.
271
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:29,674
They've been congregating
since the announcement.
272
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:32,635
I even heard a few have been
sleeping in their cars.
273
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:35,722
All hoping to get
a glimpse of him.
274
00:17:35,847 --> 00:17:38,058
Some people really need a hobby.
275
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:49,069
I love you!
276
00:18:51,339 --> 00:18:52,674
Oh, thanks, honey.
277
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:57,178
I mean, had to wear
the boots, right?
278
00:18:57,303 --> 00:18:58,721
- Right this way.
- They look perfect.
279
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:00,723
- Thanks.
- Oh, my goodness.
280
00:19:10,441 --> 00:19:11,818
Welcome.
281
00:19:11,943 --> 00:19:15,029
Before you head to your
respective rooms to freshen up,
282
00:19:15,155 --> 00:19:17,782
to ensure the integrity of this event,
deposit your cell phones here.
283
00:19:17,907 --> 00:19:20,785
We will return them Sunday
after your experience is over.
284
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:22,745
No problem.
285
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:25,748
Thank you.
286
00:19:35,133 --> 00:19:36,384
Hey.
287
00:19:38,136 --> 00:19:39,387
Ms. Katz.
288
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:48,188
Thank you.
289
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:52,859
This is a gift.
290
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:54,068
- Oh.
- Thank you.
291
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:55,236
Welcome, Ms. Ecton.
292
00:19:55,361 --> 00:19:57,447
It's beautiful.
293
00:20:00,158 --> 00:20:01,743
- Ariel.
- I'm gonna put this by my Emmy.
294
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:04,454
Okay.
295
00:21:40,383 --> 00:21:44,095
Over the years,
my concerts attracted
296
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:47,849
a, uh, veritable who's who
297
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:52,186
of the revered
and the beatified.
298
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:56,149
And after every show,
it was customary
299
00:21:56,274 --> 00:22:00,445
for me to invite some of them
backstage to my green room
300
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:06,075
to take photos
and exchange pleasantries.
301
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,831
And, one night,
I had the unbelievable honor
302
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:17,128
to welcome both Chuck Norris
and Muhammad Ali.
303
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,465
And as is always the case
304
00:22:20,590 --> 00:22:24,552
when two alpha males enter
the same space,
305
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:27,305
a competition ensued.
306
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:30,516
And soon enough,
Chuck Norris stood up
307
00:22:30,641 --> 00:22:34,854
and announced that his hands
were so fast
308
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:38,399
that he could chop
a mosquito in half.
309
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:41,778
And just as he had finished
that sentence...
310
00:22:41,903 --> 00:22:43,071
Hi-ya!
311
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,532
I looked down at the floor,
and sure enough,
312
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:49,535
there's a mosquito
chopped in half.
313
00:22:51,496 --> 00:22:53,748
Ali doesn't skip a beat.
314
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:55,124
He stands up,
315
00:22:55,249 --> 00:22:57,752
goes to the center of the room,
316
00:22:57,877 --> 00:22:59,837
kind of leans back a bit.
317
00:23:01,964 --> 00:23:03,174
Double-jabs it.
318
00:23:04,509 --> 00:23:06,386
I look down on the floor,
319
00:23:06,511 --> 00:23:09,305
and there is a mosquito
320
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:12,433
chopped into four tiny bits.
321
00:23:13,059 --> 00:23:15,937
The entire room applauds.
322
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:19,357
But Chuck Norris, very
determined, does not give up.
323
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:23,945
He reclaims
the center of the room.
324
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:25,530
Locates one, and then...
325
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:33,621
I look down, and sure enough,
there lay a little bloodsucker
326
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:37,041
cut into six tiny portions.
327
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:41,212
And Ali, cool as a cucumber,
he stands,
328
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,882
scouring the room,
locates a mosquito.
329
00:23:45,007 --> 00:23:46,050
Whack.
330
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:48,553
I look up, and that mosquito
is still airborne.
331
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:50,513
I say, "Ali, champ,
332
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:54,684
"that mosquito is still
flying around."
333
00:23:54,809 --> 00:23:57,228
Ali turns back to me,
and he says,
334
00:23:57,353 --> 00:24:00,189
"Yeah, he's still flying around,
335
00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:03,151
"but he'll never have children."
336
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:11,117
And so,
337
00:24:11,242 --> 00:24:15,872
let me be the first
to congratulate all of you
338
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:18,291
on being the first to hear
339
00:24:18,416 --> 00:24:24,046
my 18th studio album,
Caesar's Request.
340
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:28,676
Let's dine, shall we?
341
00:24:34,182 --> 00:24:36,476
- Hi. It's so nice to finally meet you.
- Pleasure.
342
00:24:40,104 --> 00:24:41,105
- It's good to see you.
- You, too.
343
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:42,648
- Alfred.
- Young man.
344
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:43,733
- Mmm.
- Pleasure.
345
00:24:43,858 --> 00:24:45,359
I'd like to start off
by saying...
346
00:24:45,485 --> 00:24:47,904
- Water under the bridge.
- Exactly.
347
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:51,157
You look good, man.
348
00:24:51,282 --> 00:24:52,742
You look good, too.
Not as good as me.
349
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:54,035
- Oh.
- Thanks, Ariel.
350
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,371
Hey. I heard
you're from New York City.
351
00:24:57,497 --> 00:25:00,124
- Is that true?
- Uh, yes, it is true.
352
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:01,709
That's so cool.
353
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,544
- Thanks.
- I like your hair.
354
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,046
I like your hair, too.
355
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:06,297
Uh, my name's Ariel.
356
00:25:06,422 --> 00:25:07,465
Nice to meet you, Ariel.
357
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:09,091
- I'm Maude.
- Nice to meet you, Maude.
358
00:25:09,217 --> 00:25:10,718
Would you like to sit
with me, Ariel?
359
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,386
Yes.
360
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:13,763
Yes, I would.
361
00:25:15,723 --> 00:25:17,808
Now a toast, if I may.
362
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:21,604
Because this, my old friend,
does not happen anymore.
363
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:25,566
This, we have missed,
as we have missed you.
364
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:26,901
Guys, this is my friend Ariel.
365
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:28,319
We're honored
to be here with you.
366
00:25:28,444 --> 00:25:29,487
Hi. How are you? I'm Joel.
367
00:25:29,612 --> 00:25:30,738
- Nice to meet you.
- To Alfred.
368
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:32,490
Alfred.
369
00:25:38,663 --> 00:25:41,123
Hey. First Roll.
370
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:44,210
First Roll.
371
00:25:46,128 --> 00:25:48,506
Take a bite and pass it across.
372
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:56,180
There you go.
373
00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:58,140
Whoa.
You're like a panther.
374
00:25:58,266 --> 00:26:01,185
Are we gonna get
to see you dance this weekend?
375
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:03,521
Don't fret, my dear.
I'm still uncoordinated.
376
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:06,524
Come on, Clara.
377
00:26:06,649 --> 00:26:08,568
What?
Nobody moves like Moretti.
378
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:16,344
Oh. Thank you.
379
00:27:20,264 --> 00:27:21,390
But it's a pretty one.
380
00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:23,351
Indeed it is.
381
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:24,810
Yeah. Thought so.
382
00:27:31,567 --> 00:27:33,402
Jorg, right?
383
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,323
Ariel Ecton.
384
00:27:39,575 --> 00:27:40,618
This is amazing.
385
00:27:42,662 --> 00:27:44,580
Um...
386
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:49,877
Full disclosure,
I'm a journalist here,
387
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:51,879
and we might be writing a piece
388
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,048
just about how amazing
all this is,
389
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:57,009
and, um, I just wanted to get, like,
a little bit of background color,
390
00:27:57,134 --> 00:28:00,763
if you're comfortable
talking to me a little.
391
00:28:08,938 --> 00:28:10,481
I used to teach music
392
00:28:11,649 --> 00:28:15,653
at Harden High School
in Charlotte.
393
00:28:16,529 --> 00:28:19,657
One semester, I picked
my favorite musician...
394
00:28:20,491 --> 00:28:22,827
The Wizard of Wiggle himself,
395
00:28:22,952 --> 00:28:25,705
to be the primary focus
for the kids.
396
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,421
One day,
I'm teaching second period
397
00:28:33,546 --> 00:28:35,047
when I get a phone call
398
00:28:35,172 --> 00:28:37,383
saying that Moretti
wanted to meet me.
399
00:28:37,508 --> 00:28:40,136
And at first, I thought
it was a prank, you know?
400
00:28:40,261 --> 00:28:41,971
- Mmm.
- Of course.
401
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:44,390
No one had seen Moretti
in almost ten years.
402
00:28:44,515 --> 00:28:46,308
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
403
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:47,810
And then...
404
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:50,563
he got on the phone...
405
00:28:52,273 --> 00:28:54,650
and that voice is...
406
00:28:56,861 --> 00:28:58,112
...unmistakable.
407
00:29:00,489 --> 00:29:01,824
Like, this ain't no prank.
408
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:05,119
That's the motherfucking
Debutante himself.
409
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:06,620
Wait, so...
410
00:29:07,121 --> 00:29:09,415
Moretti just, like,
called you out of the blue?
411
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:11,834
He told me not to tell anyone.
412
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:14,211
Did he say
what he wanted or... or...
413
00:29:14,336 --> 00:29:15,671
What?
414
00:29:15,796 --> 00:29:17,590
No need. No.
415
00:29:17,715 --> 00:29:19,800
I didn't even tell my job.
416
00:29:19,925 --> 00:29:20,926
No call, no show.
417
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:24,346
I... I was on a plane
the next morning.
418
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,477
And now, I teach music theory
to the children.
419
00:29:29,602 --> 00:29:31,729
Like, uh, you know,
little Maudey there.
420
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:37,109
And John here, uh,
teaches phys ed,
421
00:29:37,234 --> 00:29:40,654
like, uh, oh, like, uh,
track and archery.
422
00:29:44,492 --> 00:29:48,120
"Teach them young,
and the world will be yours."
423
00:29:49,538 --> 00:29:51,540
That's from the book,
right? The...
424
00:29:51,665 --> 00:29:53,542
the... the blue one that's...
425
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:56,545
- Meditations of Level.
- Yeah.
426
00:29:56,670 --> 00:29:58,005
Is that, um...
427
00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:01,550
Sorry, I don't... I don't know
how else to ask that.
428
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:03,093
Are you...
429
00:30:03,219 --> 00:30:05,346
- you guys...
- We're Levelists.
430
00:30:07,556 --> 00:30:08,808
What do you, uh...
431
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:14,104
What is that, I guess,
to you or...
432
00:30:15,397 --> 00:30:16,607
you all?
433
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:22,029
"The one and only holistic path
434
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:24,740
"to prevent the obstruction
of creativity
435
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:29,954
"and ensure the protection of those
divinely burdened to wield it."
436
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:19,044
Doesn't "sycophant" have an "O"?
437
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:24,133
Probably, yeah. Um...
438
00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:26,427
- Hi.
- Alfred Moretti.
439
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:28,429
Ariel Ecton.
440
00:31:28,554 --> 00:31:30,347
Indeed you are.
441
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:32,266
I was shocked to get the invite,
442
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:35,644
but I'm truly honored
and thrilled
443
00:31:35,769 --> 00:31:37,229
to get to be here this weekend.
444
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:39,356
I hope so.
445
00:31:39,857 --> 00:31:41,692
Don't forget the "O."
446
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:45,195
- Right. Yeah.
- Rest well.
447
00:31:45,321 --> 00:31:46,405
You, too.
448
00:32:02,296 --> 00:32:04,048
Congratulations,
and welcome again
449
00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:06,050
to this once-in-a-lifetime
gathering.
450
00:32:06,175 --> 00:32:08,218
For your comfort,
we have assigned each of you
451
00:32:08,344 --> 00:32:10,804
a 24-7 concierge.
452
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:13,349
If there are any accommodations
that you may desire,
453
00:32:13,474 --> 00:32:15,100
please do not hesitate
to ask them.
454
00:32:16,018 --> 00:32:18,145
None too big, none too small.
455
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,314
Your concierge is here for you.
456
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:23,025
Holy shit,
the Moretti Museum.
457
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:25,152
I can't believe it's real.
458
00:32:25,861 --> 00:32:27,863
Oh, the kids are doing
a puppet show.
459
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:29,448
I love puppet shows.
460
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:37,182
This song is titled
461
00:33:37,307 --> 00:33:38,851
Tomorrow, my love.
462
00:33:38,976 --> 00:33:40,394
Please enjoy.
463
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,120
Hmm?
464
00:36:03,245 --> 00:36:05,330
- Ow!
- There we go. Go.
465
00:36:06,456 --> 00:36:07,499
Hey, what are you doing?
466
00:36:07,624 --> 00:36:08,542
Go ahead.
467
00:36:09,751 --> 00:36:11,211
What are... No, let go of me!
468
00:36:12,921 --> 00:36:15,465
That's it.
469
00:36:34,985 --> 00:36:35,986
Morning.
470
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:37,446
Good morning.
471
00:36:37,571 --> 00:36:38,780
Can I get you anything?
472
00:36:39,948 --> 00:36:42,951
No. I was just gonna
go for a jog.
473
00:36:47,331 --> 00:36:49,708
I can go for a jog, right?
474
00:38:36,815 --> 00:38:38,191
Morning.
475
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:39,860
Morning.
476
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:42,863
How are you finding
everything so far?
477
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:44,364
Good. Yeah.
478
00:38:45,741 --> 00:38:48,076
How was your morning jog?
479
00:38:48,201 --> 00:38:49,411
It was good.
480
00:38:49,536 --> 00:38:51,955
I, um... I feel bad, though.
481
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,708
My concierge had to jog
with me the whole time.
482
00:38:56,376 --> 00:38:58,587
You guys really go above and
beyond with the service here.
483
00:38:59,129 --> 00:39:02,382
Oh, that's the only thing
you find above and beyond?
484
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:03,759
The service?
485
00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:06,178
Yeah. Um...
486
00:39:08,055 --> 00:39:09,556
I mean, the song was amazing.
487
00:39:10,474 --> 00:39:13,185
Like, genuinely. It was...
488
00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:17,939
gorgeous and haunting
and kind of funny.
489
00:39:18,065 --> 00:39:19,858
Funny? How?
490
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:22,986
It's just not really how
I picture your heart, I guess.
491
00:39:23,111 --> 00:39:25,822
How did you picture my heart?
492
00:39:25,947 --> 00:39:27,449
Um...
493
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:30,369
I...
494
00:39:30,494 --> 00:39:31,828
Like Teflon,
495
00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:34,414
glitter-glazed and reinforced
496
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:36,750
with a shit ton of cash
and applause.
497
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:38,126
Pardon my French.
498
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:39,961
Well, don't stop Frenching
499
00:39:40,087 --> 00:39:42,172
on my account, dear. Sit.
500
00:39:44,466 --> 00:39:45,592
Um...
501
00:39:46,259 --> 00:39:47,719
Really, though, I just...
502
00:39:47,844 --> 00:39:49,638
I found it really impressive.
503
00:39:50,263 --> 00:39:51,390
Thank you.
504
00:39:52,391 --> 00:39:55,852
You're able to sing about all
that like it was yesterday, and...
505
00:39:57,354 --> 00:40:00,232
it was really kind of comforting
506
00:40:00,357 --> 00:40:01,775
that you hadn't lost a step.
507
00:40:03,193 --> 00:40:05,987
Thank you. Well, yes,
that would be a bummer.
508
00:40:06,113 --> 00:40:07,781
Yeah,
that'd be a huge bummer.
509
00:40:07,906 --> 00:40:09,866
Hi, Ariel.
510
00:40:12,536 --> 00:40:13,745
Um...
511
00:40:14,996 --> 00:40:17,165
not to get all
Anderson Cooper on you
512
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:18,708
- first thing in the morning...
- Mmm-hmm.
513
00:40:18,834 --> 00:40:22,421
...but, um, this place,
this, um...
514
00:40:24,214 --> 00:40:26,758
religion, Level...
515
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,929
...how long ago was it
since you founded it?
516
00:40:31,054 --> 00:40:34,182
Oh.
517
00:40:35,809 --> 00:40:37,894
Oh, no. I didn't create it.
518
00:40:38,019 --> 00:40:39,521
You think I wrote all that?
519
00:40:39,646 --> 00:40:42,691
No, I'm just a simple songman.
520
00:40:43,567 --> 00:40:46,445
It existed long before me.
521
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:48,572
But you are a member?
522
00:40:48,697 --> 00:40:51,908
Yes, I'm very committed to it.
523
00:40:55,454 --> 00:40:57,080
What is it that you guys do?
524
00:40:58,415 --> 00:41:00,500
What do you mean, what do we do?
525
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,752
I mean, all religions
do something.
526
00:41:03,587 --> 00:41:05,255
Catholics go to Mass.
527
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:07,132
They drink the blood of Christ.
528
00:41:07,257 --> 00:41:09,926
Muslims, uh, pray towards Mecca.
529
00:41:10,051 --> 00:41:12,220
You know, they...
they do things.
530
00:41:12,345 --> 00:41:14,598
All religions have things
that they do together.
531
00:41:14,723 --> 00:41:19,394
Um, then what do you call a group
that does nothing together?
532
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,104
Congress.
533
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:25,484
Actually, you know what?
534
00:41:25,609 --> 00:41:27,944
There... there is...
535
00:41:29,196 --> 00:41:31,698
one thing we... we all do.
536
00:41:31,823 --> 00:41:33,283
Would you like to see?
537
00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:34,826
Yeah.
538
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:03,021
Sorry about the odor.
539
00:42:03,146 --> 00:42:05,440
I wish that I could say
you get used to it,
540
00:42:05,565 --> 00:42:07,025
but you don't.
541
00:42:08,652 --> 00:42:12,614
Now, this believer is engaged
542
00:42:12,739 --> 00:42:15,659
in a process we call Diving.
543
00:42:15,784 --> 00:42:19,287
That's something
we're all called to do.
544
00:42:20,205 --> 00:42:21,873
"We all," including yourself?
545
00:42:22,791 --> 00:42:24,376
Absolutely.
546
00:42:29,631 --> 00:42:32,133
So, you eat them?
547
00:42:32,259 --> 00:42:36,054
For necklaces,
we source only natural pearls,
548
00:42:36,179 --> 00:42:38,306
so that means
we're obligated to open
549
00:42:38,431 --> 00:42:41,434
oyster after oyster after oyster
550
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,479
before we find one
with a pearl in it.
551
00:42:45,564 --> 00:42:48,358
Well, in a hundred oysters,
552
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:52,487
how often do you find a pearl?
553
00:42:52,612 --> 00:42:54,364
Not all that often,
but distilling it
554
00:42:54,489 --> 00:42:58,952
into a chore of numbers
is beside the point.
555
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:00,870
Well, what's the point, then?
556
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,632
Oh, damn.
557
00:43:15,552 --> 00:43:16,886
We should probably...
558
00:43:17,596 --> 00:43:20,473
leave him to it,
let him concentrate.
559
00:43:33,153 --> 00:43:35,196
Um...
560
00:43:36,323 --> 00:43:39,034
forgive me if I'm missing
something, but...
561
00:43:40,368 --> 00:43:41,536
what...
562
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:45,749
What's the point
of that, exactly?
563
00:43:47,834 --> 00:43:50,295
Well, the Meditations of Level
564
00:43:50,420 --> 00:43:53,673
teaches us that the worth
of a single pearl
565
00:43:53,798 --> 00:43:58,345
surpasses the value
of all empty shells
566
00:43:58,470 --> 00:44:02,307
and that balance, true balance,
567
00:44:02,432 --> 00:44:06,561
exists not in the notion
that all things are equal
568
00:44:06,686 --> 00:44:08,730
but in the realization
569
00:44:08,855 --> 00:44:11,066
that all things are not...
570
00:44:12,651 --> 00:44:13,693
equal.
571
00:44:15,195 --> 00:44:16,655
True balance?
572
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:17,864
Yes.
573
00:44:17,989 --> 00:44:22,077
Like someone who would sleep
12 hours a day
574
00:44:22,202 --> 00:44:24,704
and stay up for 12 hours,
for example.
575
00:44:26,331 --> 00:44:27,415
Hmm.
576
00:44:28,958 --> 00:44:32,420
Did you really buy and wear
Freddie Mercury's teeth?
577
00:44:57,737 --> 00:44:58,905
Okay.
578
00:45:05,412 --> 00:45:06,538
Hi.
579
00:45:08,832 --> 00:45:11,126
Oh, hello.
580
00:45:11,251 --> 00:45:13,712
It's so great
to finally meet you, Ariel.
581
00:45:13,837 --> 00:45:16,423
Uh, it's nice
to meet you, too...
582
00:45:16,548 --> 00:45:17,716
Rachel.
583
00:45:18,717 --> 00:45:21,261
- Okay.
- Okay, um...
584
00:45:22,637 --> 00:45:24,431
Rachel.
585
00:45:26,141 --> 00:45:27,851
- Rachel, hi. Yeah.
- Hi.
586
00:45:27,976 --> 00:45:29,644
What... what is all this?
587
00:45:29,769 --> 00:45:30,729
Here.
588
00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:33,481
Oh, beautiful. Option three,
589
00:45:33,606 --> 00:45:35,483
with the olive foundation, like
we talked about last week, okay?
590
00:45:35,608 --> 00:45:36,609
- Okay.
- Thank you.
591
00:45:36,735 --> 00:45:38,236
No, I... I got
one of these, actually.
592
00:45:38,361 --> 00:45:40,280
Um... just, like, what is this?
593
00:45:40,405 --> 00:45:43,366
Is this, like, the...
the spa experience or...
594
00:45:44,617 --> 00:45:46,077
Right. Okay.
595
00:45:46,202 --> 00:45:48,830
We're gonna make you look
like the best version of you.
596
00:45:50,457 --> 00:45:52,041
Okay. Um...
597
00:45:54,169 --> 00:45:55,628
What number?
598
00:45:55,754 --> 00:45:57,505
Okay. Two dresses.
599
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:01,217
Let me ask you this.
600
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:02,552
Uh...
601
00:46:03,803 --> 00:46:07,182
did you receive a call
out of the blue, maybe,
602
00:46:07,307 --> 00:46:10,769
from Moretti a few years ago, and
that's what brought you to this place?
603
00:46:10,894 --> 00:46:13,146
I'm sorry, my dear,
the schedule.
604
00:46:13,271 --> 00:46:14,189
Let us do what we do,
605
00:46:14,314 --> 00:46:15,982
and I promise
you will look and feel
606
00:46:16,107 --> 00:46:17,692
- like a million bucks.
- Yeah. Okay.
607
00:46:30,955 --> 00:46:33,208
Mmm. Mmm.
608
00:46:33,333 --> 00:46:35,668
You have Pam Grier's
bone structure.
609
00:46:35,794 --> 00:46:37,170
- Okay.
- Ooh, truly gorgeous.
610
00:46:37,295 --> 00:46:39,130
Let's not get carried away, now.
611
00:46:39,756 --> 00:46:41,257
Okay.
612
00:46:41,382 --> 00:46:42,801
It's so weird.
613
00:46:42,926 --> 00:46:44,427
You guys do fast work.
614
00:46:44,552 --> 00:46:47,096
It's like, one day
you just look in the mirror
615
00:46:47,222 --> 00:46:48,556
and you're both
of your parents, you're...
616
00:46:51,267 --> 00:46:52,310
Okay, hon.
617
00:46:52,435 --> 00:46:54,938
So, how's the lady garden?
618
00:46:55,897 --> 00:46:57,065
Um...
619
00:46:58,817 --> 00:47:00,443
What?
620
00:47:00,568 --> 00:47:01,736
Your lady garden.
621
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:04,656
Your cha-cha.
622
00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:07,075
Your vagina, my dear.
623
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,577
When was the last time
you shaved or waxed down there?
624
00:47:09,702 --> 00:47:11,704
Uh, no, yeah,
I... I... I figured.
625
00:47:11,830 --> 00:47:14,332
Um...
626
00:47:14,457 --> 00:47:15,917
I don't know.
627
00:47:16,042 --> 00:47:18,711
Uh, I... I... I don't...
628
00:47:18,837 --> 00:47:22,382
I don't know why
it's any of your business.
629
00:47:25,593 --> 00:47:28,805
It... it has been a... a minute.
630
00:47:28,930 --> 00:47:30,682
That's good. That's good.
631
00:47:30,807 --> 00:47:33,059
Moretti requires
that everyone be unshaven.
632
00:47:33,184 --> 00:47:36,396
But what he actually means
is a full, tidy bush,
633
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:38,690
emphasis on "tidy."
634
00:47:38,815 --> 00:47:40,733
We all do it, even the men.
635
00:47:44,737 --> 00:47:47,866
Does he have plans to...
to... to see...
636
00:47:47,991 --> 00:47:49,242
I'm sure he doesn't.
637
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:54,664
I've worked on The Debutante
since before the Cream Crush Tour.
638
00:47:54,789 --> 00:47:55,957
He's had many impressive guests.
639
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:59,419
Icons, people who had holidays
named after them.
640
00:47:59,544 --> 00:48:01,880
Football players,
Pulitzer Prize winners.
641
00:48:02,005 --> 00:48:05,717
Everyone with 100% certainty
has gone through this process.
642
00:48:05,842 --> 00:48:07,093
Okay, uh, sorry.
643
00:48:07,218 --> 00:48:09,304
So, um, because
644
00:48:10,388 --> 00:48:13,224
some famous, influential people
645
00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:16,519
wanted to... to...
to spend time with Moretti,
646
00:48:16,644 --> 00:48:21,232
they let you,
or whoever else, um...
647
00:48:22,901 --> 00:48:25,111
shave them down there?
648
00:48:25,236 --> 00:48:28,781
Hey, as Moretti always says,
649
00:48:28,907 --> 00:48:31,910
"No one is more of a star fucker
650
00:48:32,035 --> 00:48:33,703
"than the fucking stars."
651
00:48:41,461 --> 00:48:44,130
I mean, has the man ever told
a joke that's actually funny?
652
00:48:44,255 --> 00:48:45,757
- Well...
- Hey.
653
00:48:46,674 --> 00:48:48,301
- Hey.
- Wow, honey.
654
00:48:48,426 --> 00:48:49,677
You look gorgeous.
655
00:48:49,802 --> 00:48:51,512
Doesn't she look gorgeous, Stan?
656
00:48:51,638 --> 00:48:54,474
- No objection here.
- I mean, you guys look amazing.
657
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:55,642
I love your hair, Clara.
658
00:48:55,767 --> 00:48:57,226
Well, it's a wig.
659
00:48:57,352 --> 00:49:00,521
Yeah, she knows it's a wig,
Stan, you miserable ass.
660
00:49:01,230 --> 00:49:02,774
And they put it on
a little bit too tight,
661
00:49:02,899 --> 00:49:03,983
but other than that,
662
00:49:04,108 --> 00:49:05,526
I think it looks fabulous on me.
663
00:49:05,652 --> 00:49:07,403
It does. This is a look.
664
00:49:08,112 --> 00:49:09,530
Um...
665
00:49:12,075 --> 00:49:14,285
Sorry, did... did...
did your guys's concierges
666
00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:15,995
stay with you all night?
667
00:49:16,829 --> 00:49:18,206
- Yep.
- Yep.
668
00:49:18,957 --> 00:49:20,375
And did they, um...
669
00:49:21,209 --> 00:49:25,630
they shave you down...
670
00:49:25,755 --> 00:49:26,714
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
671
00:49:26,839 --> 00:49:28,383
Okay. Cool.
672
00:49:28,508 --> 00:49:31,010
Fucking Moretti.
673
00:49:31,135 --> 00:49:32,553
Yeah.
674
00:49:33,763 --> 00:49:35,264
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
675
00:49:35,390 --> 00:49:36,474
- Hey.
- Hey.
676
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:37,642
Ooh. Wow.
677
00:49:37,767 --> 00:49:38,935
- Thank you.
- Wow.
678
00:49:39,060 --> 00:49:40,311
- Bianca, look at this look.
- This is great.
679
00:49:40,436 --> 00:49:41,396
- Stop.
- You look beautiful.
680
00:49:41,521 --> 00:49:42,522
I've never seen you
look like this.
681
00:49:42,647 --> 00:49:43,856
All right.
682
00:49:43,982 --> 00:49:45,650
Shall we head
to the listening room?
683
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:49,696
Um... we're down one,
though, right?
684
00:49:49,821 --> 00:49:52,323
Oh, yeah. Where is Bill?
685
00:49:52,448 --> 00:49:57,078
Mr. Lotto opted for
a longer massage session.
686
00:49:57,662 --> 00:49:58,871
He'll rejoin the group later.
687
00:49:58,997 --> 00:50:00,540
Typical.
688
00:50:00,665 --> 00:50:02,583
- Asshole.
- He's so indulgent.
689
00:50:57,055 --> 00:50:59,098
I'll only say this,
690
00:50:59,223 --> 00:51:01,768
humanity has been in debt
691
00:51:01,893 --> 00:51:05,521
ever since we found ourselves
on this tiny rock.
692
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,567
Every so often,
there is a Michelangelo
693
00:51:09,692 --> 00:51:12,236
who paints a Sistine Chapel
694
00:51:12,361 --> 00:51:16,032
or a Tina Turner
who covers Proud Mary,
695
00:51:16,157 --> 00:51:19,202
and humanity chips away
at that debt.
696
00:51:20,036 --> 00:51:22,872
Now, I'm not saying this album,
697
00:51:22,997 --> 00:51:24,749
Caesar's Request,
698
00:51:24,874 --> 00:51:27,460
will bring us into the black,
699
00:51:28,002 --> 00:51:32,465
but you can bet your ass
it'll bring us closer to it.
700
00:51:42,391 --> 00:51:43,518
Whoo, whoo.
701
00:55:04,927 --> 00:55:06,762
Can we cut
the music, please?
702
00:55:06,887 --> 00:55:08,556
Honey, are you all right?
703
00:55:09,181 --> 00:55:11,851
Can we get her some water?
704
00:55:11,976 --> 00:55:13,936
It's probably a peanut allergy.
705
00:55:14,061 --> 00:55:17,732
I swear, that entire generation just
woke up one day with a peanut allergy.
706
00:55:17,857 --> 00:55:20,735
It might be the altitude, actually.
707
00:55:20,860 --> 00:55:23,487
Rachel, can we get her
an IV drip, maybe?
708
00:55:23,612 --> 00:55:26,657
And also, check with the kind
folks in the infirmary.
709
00:55:26,782 --> 00:55:28,451
- Maybe give her a once-over.
- Just breathe, Emily.
710
00:55:28,576 --> 00:55:31,746
You're... you're in great
hands with... with Rachel.
711
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:36,917
Don't worry.
I've had worse reviews.
712
00:55:39,462 --> 00:55:42,965
Maybe let's all go
get some fresh air
713
00:55:43,090 --> 00:55:46,552
and let the music decant
a little bit, shall we?
714
00:55:46,677 --> 00:55:48,095
- Sure.
- Yeah?
715
00:55:48,220 --> 00:55:49,388
Yeah.
716
00:55:51,390 --> 00:55:52,933
Thank you. I'm
honored.
717
00:55:53,059 --> 00:55:54,810
It's just so inspiring.
718
00:55:55,853 --> 00:55:57,897
Hey. You good?
719
00:55:58,022 --> 00:56:01,108
Yeah.
I'm just trying to loosen it.
720
00:56:03,486 --> 00:56:05,154
What's crazier,
721
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:09,408
the fact that Moretti
has changed his wardrobe
722
00:56:09,533 --> 00:56:11,994
six times in the last two days...
723
00:56:12,119 --> 00:56:16,248
...or that he's still the best
entertainer in the world?
724
00:56:16,374 --> 00:56:17,917
- No, for sure, but--
- Yeah.
725
00:56:18,042 --> 00:56:19,919
This whole thing's a trip, man.
726
00:56:20,669 --> 00:56:23,089
Him, this place, like...
727
00:56:23,923 --> 00:56:27,551
The people here
are weirdly talented
728
00:56:27,676 --> 00:56:29,887
and seem mostly happy.
729
00:56:30,012 --> 00:56:30,971
Yeah.
730
00:56:31,097 --> 00:56:32,681
The scars on the hands, though.
731
00:56:32,807 --> 00:56:33,974
I don't know if I love that.
732
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:36,894
- Huh. I hadn't noticed.
- Yeah.
733
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:40,564
Um, you know Stan
pretty well, yeah?
734
00:56:40,689 --> 00:56:41,857
Stan? Yeah.
735
00:56:43,484 --> 00:56:47,279
How apeshit do you think he'd go
736
00:56:47,405 --> 00:56:48,781
if I were to write
a secondary piece,
737
00:56:48,906 --> 00:56:50,658
like, on the Levelists?
738
00:56:51,409 --> 00:56:53,577
Here's the thing,
Stan is an asshole,
739
00:56:53,702 --> 00:56:55,663
but if you have
a real story to tell,
740
00:56:55,788 --> 00:56:57,706
not even he can deny that.
741
00:56:59,166 --> 00:57:00,918
There's something
that unites them.
742
00:57:01,043 --> 00:57:03,421
And I... I'm not quite sure
how to put it, but they...
743
00:57:03,546 --> 00:57:06,507
they're all very different,
but there's something...
744
00:57:06,632 --> 00:57:09,093
It's as if they're all
faces of the one.
745
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:10,344
Mmm-hm.
746
00:57:10,469 --> 00:57:12,012
Well, you know, Level believes
747
00:57:12,138 --> 00:57:14,723
God is a temporary
state of being
748
00:57:14,849 --> 00:57:18,727
and that divinity
is accessible for all,
749
00:57:18,853 --> 00:57:21,647
but soon fades away.
750
00:57:21,772 --> 00:57:23,941
- Right.
- For... for instance,
751
00:57:24,066 --> 00:57:25,985
when I created the bridge
752
00:57:26,110 --> 00:57:28,028
on Live Without Love...
753
00:57:28,154 --> 00:57:31,073
...uh, in that moment,
I was a god.
754
00:57:31,198 --> 00:57:32,741
- Capital "G" God.
- You were.
755
00:57:32,867 --> 00:57:36,954
But only in the same way the...
the person who, uh,
756
00:57:37,079 --> 00:57:41,667
created the horseshoe thousands
of years ago was a god.
757
00:57:41,792 --> 00:57:44,879
- That is really fascinating, Alfred.
- Mmm.
758
00:57:45,004 --> 00:57:46,213
Do you think that...
759
00:57:47,047 --> 00:57:49,717
that that could be a little
bit alienating, though?
760
00:57:49,842 --> 00:57:53,762
Just seeing as most people can't
761
00:57:53,888 --> 00:57:57,224
and won't ever create something
762
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:59,393
truly perfect
in their lifetimes?
763
00:57:59,518 --> 00:58:02,062
Actually, we believe
it's the exact opposite.
764
00:58:02,188 --> 00:58:06,442
That anyone can be a god
at any moment.
765
00:58:06,567 --> 00:58:08,736
The opportunity is there
for everyone,
766
00:58:08,861 --> 00:58:12,573
from the boss
to the lowest on the masthead.
767
00:58:12,698 --> 00:58:14,158
Yeah, it makes sense, right?
768
00:58:15,618 --> 00:58:17,495
We are only vessels.
769
00:58:17,620 --> 00:58:19,788
Some of us have the goods,
some of us don't.
770
00:58:24,084 --> 00:58:25,753
Thank you so much.
771
00:58:25,878 --> 00:58:28,005
- So, what's the deal?
How's the note-taking coming?
772
00:58:28,130 --> 00:58:29,381
- Uh... No, it's good. It's good.
773
00:58:29,507 --> 00:58:30,674
- Okay.
- Yeah.
774
00:58:30,799 --> 00:58:32,510
I've been finding a lot
of really fascinating stuff.
775
00:58:32,635 --> 00:58:34,720
- Mmm-hmm.
- I was thinking, you know,
776
00:58:34,845 --> 00:58:39,058
maybe I could write
some sort of secondary...
777
00:58:39,183 --> 00:58:41,185
like, a... a companion piece
to yours.
778
00:58:41,310 --> 00:58:43,145
- Secondary piece?
- Uh, yeah. Secondary, completely secondary.
779
00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:44,855
Just on the Levelists.
780
00:58:47,149 --> 00:58:48,192
Stan.
781
00:58:48,943 --> 00:58:49,944
Be real with me.
782
00:58:51,487 --> 00:58:53,030
This is a cult.
783
00:58:53,155 --> 00:58:55,199
- Well, yeah.
- Or damn well near one.
784
00:58:55,324 --> 00:58:57,201
Like, this is insane.
785
00:58:57,326 --> 00:58:58,452
Yeah. So?
786
00:58:58,577 --> 00:59:00,454
So, I was talking to...
to Jorg last night.
787
00:59:00,579 --> 00:59:01,455
- Mmm-hmm.
788
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:03,123
The backstories
on the members...
789
00:59:03,249 --> 00:59:06,001
They're all just so fascinating.
I could just do a deep dive--
790
00:59:06,126 --> 00:59:07,503
No, no, no, no.
Let me stop you. Stop, stop.
791
00:59:07,628 --> 00:59:08,754
Let me stop you there.
792
00:59:08,879 --> 00:59:10,464
We are publishing one story.
793
00:59:10,589 --> 00:59:12,383
And you're... you're playing
794
00:59:12,508 --> 00:59:14,134
a... a vital role in it.
795
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:15,636
But, you know,
any and everything
796
00:59:15,761 --> 00:59:16,887
that's interesting
about this place
797
00:59:17,012 --> 00:59:18,097
will be in my story.
798
00:59:18,222 --> 00:59:19,932
- Okay.
- Plus... plus...
799
00:59:20,057 --> 00:59:22,434
the... the... the weird
groupies in blue,
800
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,770
the fucking vases,
801
00:59:24,895 --> 00:59:26,855
god damn dancing,
none of that matters
802
00:59:26,981 --> 00:59:29,066
because it's about the music.
803
00:59:29,191 --> 00:59:30,693
- That's the story,
you know? I mean...
804
00:59:33,821 --> 00:59:35,573
- Oh, my God. Stan.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
805
00:59:35,698 --> 00:59:37,449
Oh, somebody help!
806
00:59:37,575 --> 00:59:39,243
- What happened?
- Have Charlan rush here.
807
00:59:39,368 --> 00:59:40,411
What happened?
808
00:59:40,536 --> 00:59:42,454
- Now!
- Oh, my God. Take it out!
809
00:59:42,580 --> 00:59:43,539
- No!
- Oh, my goodness!
810
00:59:45,124 --> 00:59:46,750
- Just breathe, just breathe.
- What's going on?
811
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:48,085
It looks like
it only hit his shoulder...
812
00:59:48,210 --> 00:59:49,753
- What the fuck?
- ...but still hurry.
813
00:59:49,878 --> 00:59:51,964
Just breathe,
just breathe, just breathe.
814
00:59:52,089 --> 00:59:54,550
Don't take it out.
815
00:59:56,510 --> 00:59:58,304
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, it's...
816
00:59:58,679 --> 01:00:00,055
I'm so sorry, mister.
817
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:02,474
It was a mistake with my grip.
It slipped.
818
01:00:04,143 --> 01:00:06,353
Oh, my God.
819
01:00:11,442 --> 01:00:12,443
Yes?
820
01:00:15,237 --> 01:00:17,573
Ariel. Come, have a drink.
821
01:00:21,952 --> 01:00:22,953
Ariel.
822
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:24,705
We were just saying we...
823
01:00:24,830 --> 01:00:27,416
we should call over to your room
and invite you over.
824
01:00:27,541 --> 01:00:29,376
- We were just saying that.
- And here you are.
825
01:00:29,501 --> 01:00:31,086
There's not a lot left,
826
01:00:31,211 --> 01:00:32,713
but you look like
a lightweight, so...
827
01:00:32,838 --> 01:00:35,299
Oh, I remember when I used
to look like a lightweight.
828
01:00:35,424 --> 01:00:37,134
Well, we all remember
the '80s, Bianca.
829
01:00:37,259 --> 01:00:38,218
- Fuck you.
- Okay.
830
01:00:38,344 --> 01:00:40,012
- Fuck you.
- To Moretti...
831
01:00:41,263 --> 01:00:44,475
...the best entertainer
in the world,
832
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,603
still the greatest of all time.
833
01:00:47,728 --> 01:00:49,647
- No doubt.
- Moretti.
834
01:00:50,522 --> 01:00:51,857
Ariel, what's wrong?
835
01:00:51,982 --> 01:00:54,151
Oh, this better not be about
the fucking article.
836
01:00:54,276 --> 01:00:55,277
I know that.
837
01:00:55,402 --> 01:00:57,529
Stan, is it possible
838
01:00:57,655 --> 01:01:00,407
that what happened to you
wasn't an accident?
839
01:01:00,532 --> 01:01:02,034
- What?
- We're here,
840
01:01:02,159 --> 01:01:03,702
in the middle
of fucking nowhere.
841
01:01:03,827 --> 01:01:05,954
They took our cell phones.
They took our laptops.
842
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,415
We have no way of communicating
with the outside world.
843
01:01:08,540 --> 01:01:11,251
They're surveilling us,
watching us 24/7.
844
01:01:11,377 --> 01:01:14,213
They're probably fucking listening
in to this room somehow.
845
01:01:14,338 --> 01:01:15,798
People are fucking missing.
846
01:01:15,923 --> 01:01:18,133
- Let's not forget about that.
- What?
847
01:01:18,258 --> 01:01:19,760
Are you sure you haven't been drinking with us?
848
01:01:19,885 --> 01:01:22,638
Because this is sounding a little crazy.
849
01:01:22,763 --> 01:01:24,264
- Didn't wanna say it.
- Sorry.
850
01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:26,600
Something is off.
851
01:01:27,393 --> 01:01:30,688
Is this not alarming
to you at all?
852
01:01:30,813 --> 01:01:33,982
Like, is it weird or fucking
strange in the least bit?
853
01:01:34,108 --> 01:01:37,069
It's less odd to me
that Bill Lotto's pretentious ass
854
01:01:37,194 --> 01:01:41,073
thinks that he's too good to listen
to the album with the rest of us
855
01:01:41,198 --> 01:01:44,618
than it is that
the Alfred Moretti
856
01:01:44,743 --> 01:01:46,412
did all of this
857
01:01:46,537 --> 01:01:49,373
to steal our cell phones
or something. I mean, come on.
858
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:50,624
I don't know
why he fucking did it.
859
01:01:50,749 --> 01:01:52,334
You said that
they hated each other.
860
01:01:52,459 --> 01:01:55,421
Oh, yeah, they hate each other
over something so silly.
861
01:01:55,546 --> 01:01:56,547
Years ago,
862
01:01:56,672 --> 01:01:57,756
Bill gave an interview
863
01:01:57,881 --> 01:01:59,258
where he sort of
made fun of Moretti
864
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:03,220
for getting his Doberman
stuffed after it died.
865
01:02:03,345 --> 01:02:05,055
- Oh, Tucker.
- That's right.
866
01:02:05,180 --> 01:02:06,557
That's right. Tucker.
867
01:02:06,682 --> 01:02:07,933
Oh. RIP.
868
01:02:08,058 --> 01:02:11,103
And then, of course, Moretti
was shamed a little bit
869
01:02:11,228 --> 01:02:14,106
because everybody thought
it was kind of strange,
870
01:02:14,231 --> 01:02:16,817
- because it's kind of strange.
- Mmm-hmm.
871
01:02:16,942 --> 01:02:19,987
This just doesn't feel
fucking right at all to me.
872
01:02:20,112 --> 01:02:22,489
Okay, and that's why
you're the one just taking notes.
873
01:02:22,614 --> 01:02:24,908
- Okay.
- Just calm... Hold on.
874
01:02:27,870 --> 01:02:30,622
- What is happening?
- I don't know. It's...
875
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,650
The crowd...
the crowd is oh so upset.
876
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:03,113
Upset that I'm not onstage.
877
01:03:03,238 --> 01:03:04,573
Yeah!
878
01:03:04,698 --> 01:03:06,700
The back row is half asleep.
879
01:03:08,410 --> 01:03:12,623
But the front row
is ready to rage.
880
01:03:12,748 --> 01:03:13,916
Yeah!
881
01:03:14,041 --> 01:03:16,043
The drummer was an hour late.
882
01:03:17,419 --> 01:03:19,421
He was in the back seat
of a groupie's car.
883
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:20,631
Yeah!
884
01:03:20,756 --> 01:03:23,425
The spotlight just blew out.
885
01:03:24,802 --> 01:03:28,847
But my sarong,
it shines from afar.
886
01:03:28,972 --> 01:03:30,641
Yeah!
887
01:03:30,766 --> 01:03:33,435
The price of the ticket was low.
888
01:03:34,770 --> 01:03:37,397
But we're booked
for another gig.
889
01:03:38,982 --> 01:03:42,569
The microphone
is tiny and cheap.
890
01:03:44,363 --> 01:03:48,283
But it makes my bulge
891
01:03:48,408 --> 01:03:50,077
look big.
892
01:03:59,211 --> 01:04:00,337
Bravo!
893
01:04:36,582 --> 01:04:37,791
Ariel?
894
01:05:33,263 --> 01:05:36,350
I love you all dearly.
I hope to see you soon.
895
01:07:02,978 --> 01:07:04,479
- Whoa.
- Are you... Are you okay?
896
01:07:04,604 --> 01:07:05,605
Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
897
01:07:05,731 --> 01:07:07,190
What's... what's wrong?
898
01:07:08,942 --> 01:07:10,193
Just, wait a minute.
899
01:07:10,318 --> 01:07:12,070
Let me explain, okay?
900
01:07:12,195 --> 01:07:13,905
- I'm leaving.
- Ariel. Ariel.
901
01:07:14,573 --> 01:07:15,574
Ariel!
902
01:07:28,503 --> 01:07:29,629
Ariel.
903
01:07:35,260 --> 01:07:36,470
I need to leave.
904
01:07:36,595 --> 01:07:39,264
Why? What... what happened?
What's wrong?
905
01:07:40,974 --> 01:07:42,517
Uh, where's Bill Lotto?
906
01:07:43,477 --> 01:07:44,728
Najee?
907
01:07:44,853 --> 01:07:46,772
I would assume
he's getting dressed for dinner.
908
01:07:46,897 --> 01:07:49,649
Wait, did Bill
do something to you?
909
01:07:49,775 --> 01:07:51,568
No, just, where is he?
910
01:07:51,693 --> 01:07:53,070
Where's... where's Emily Katz?
911
01:07:53,195 --> 01:07:54,321
I just left her.
912
01:07:54,446 --> 01:07:55,614
She's feeling much better
and will join us
913
01:07:55,739 --> 01:07:57,032
at the children's show.
914
01:07:57,324 --> 01:07:58,867
Oh. Okay.
915
01:07:58,992 --> 01:07:59,993
Ariel, you...
916
01:08:00,786 --> 01:08:03,121
Can't you tell me
exactly what happened?
917
01:08:03,246 --> 01:08:05,457
You seemed just peachy
yesterday.
918
01:08:05,582 --> 01:08:09,544
Um, no, I'm not, uh,
explaining anything.
919
01:08:09,669 --> 01:08:11,963
Just, uh, I want to go.
920
01:08:12,089 --> 01:08:13,423
I'm gonna go.
921
01:08:13,548 --> 01:08:14,925
I am going now. I'm leaving.
922
01:08:15,050 --> 01:08:17,886
I'm sorry, but that simply
isn't possible right now.
923
01:08:18,011 --> 01:08:21,098
A few of the believers took
the Louise into town.
924
01:08:21,223 --> 01:08:22,474
They should be back soon.
925
01:08:22,599 --> 01:08:24,726
Okay, well,
what about one of those?
926
01:08:24,851 --> 01:08:26,144
Those will
get you ten miles.
927
01:08:26,770 --> 01:08:28,271
You'll have to walk
the other 40.
928
01:08:29,648 --> 01:08:32,359
Okay. Well, we have to figure
something out, 'cause I gotta go.
929
01:08:32,484 --> 01:08:35,445
This is the opportunity
of a lifetime.
930
01:08:35,570 --> 01:08:36,905
If you're too ungrateful to--
931
01:08:37,030 --> 01:08:38,156
Jorg.
932
01:08:38,782 --> 01:08:41,201
Can't you see
she's frightened?
933
01:08:41,326 --> 01:08:45,497
And it's obviously something
we did or didn't do,
934
01:08:45,622 --> 01:08:49,709
so I would like to apologize
for that and assure you
935
01:08:49,835 --> 01:08:51,711
that we will get you out of here
936
01:08:51,837 --> 01:08:54,548
as soon as we can
possibly do so.
937
01:08:54,673 --> 01:08:57,300
Najee, when is
the bus returning?
938
01:08:57,425 --> 01:08:59,719
40 minutes, max.
I'll call them now.
939
01:08:59,845 --> 01:09:03,598
In the meanwhile, I want you to
get a hold of Jeff and deal with the plane.
940
01:09:03,723 --> 01:09:04,724
Get it fueled up.
941
01:09:04,850 --> 01:09:06,476
Make sure it's ready to go
942
01:09:06,601 --> 01:09:08,478
the second we get Ariel
943
01:09:08,603 --> 01:09:10,313
to the airport, okay?
944
01:09:10,438 --> 01:09:13,316
- No argument, top priority.
- Yes, sir.
945
01:09:13,441 --> 01:09:15,819
But what about the puppet show?
946
01:09:16,444 --> 01:09:18,363
Well, she...
she has to leave,
947
01:09:18,488 --> 01:09:21,408
so she... she'll miss it
this time.
948
01:09:21,533 --> 01:09:25,704
But we worked so hard, and
you were supposed to sit next to me.
949
01:09:25,829 --> 01:09:26,913
It's not fair.
950
01:09:28,290 --> 01:09:30,542
You know,
maybe we can do this.
951
01:09:30,667 --> 01:09:32,752
If Ariel agrees,
952
01:09:32,878 --> 01:09:35,672
the children's building is
the closest one to the gate,
953
01:09:35,797 --> 01:09:39,467
and she could stay and watch
the show until the bus got here.
954
01:09:41,595 --> 01:09:43,221
If you feel comfortable
with that.
955
01:09:45,974 --> 01:09:48,268
I could see the entrance
from the building?
956
01:09:48,393 --> 01:09:49,895
Like, I could see it?
957
01:09:51,104 --> 01:09:53,523
Cross my heart, hope to die.
958
01:09:58,111 --> 01:09:59,487
Yeah, fine.
959
01:09:59,613 --> 01:10:01,198
- Yes!
- Okay.
960
01:10:05,827 --> 01:10:07,162
Jorg, if you could...
961
01:10:07,287 --> 01:10:08,413
Thank you.
962
01:10:41,947 --> 01:10:43,073
Yeah.
963
01:10:54,751 --> 01:10:55,835
Cute.
964
01:11:00,632 --> 01:11:02,133
All right, children.
965
01:11:04,052 --> 01:11:07,430
Presenting
The Tragedy of Billie.
966
01:11:45,885 --> 01:11:48,179
Okay. I'm
ready.
967
01:11:48,305 --> 01:11:49,931
Lady Day!
968
01:11:51,725 --> 01:11:53,935
Tell us, has the trauma
in your childhood
969
01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:56,563
helped you make
such successful music?
970
01:11:56,688 --> 01:11:59,441
Coming from where I'm from,
to be where I'm at now,
971
01:11:59,566 --> 01:12:01,901
well, I guess that's
a sweet song in itself.
972
01:12:02,027 --> 01:12:04,154
But I wouldn't wish
my childhood on anyone,
973
01:12:04,279 --> 01:12:06,364
- even for success.
- Tell us about prison.
974
01:12:06,489 --> 01:12:08,325
Did you perform any ditties
in the slammer?
975
01:12:08,450 --> 01:12:11,286
Well, I'm no saint.
You already knew that.
976
01:12:11,411 --> 01:12:13,496
And prison sure ain't
full of saints,
977
01:12:13,621 --> 01:12:14,873
but neither is
the rest of the world.
978
01:12:14,998 --> 01:12:16,875
Are you still on smack?
979
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,337
I'm very pleased to announce
that I'm 100% sober as I stand here
980
01:12:20,462 --> 01:12:23,590
and plan to finish my days
exactly that way.
981
01:12:23,715 --> 01:12:25,091
I'm embarrassed and ashamed
982
01:12:25,216 --> 01:12:27,260
of the mistakes
I've made in my past
983
01:12:27,385 --> 01:12:29,387
and ask my fans and family
to forgive me
984
01:12:29,512 --> 01:12:30,597
as best as they can.
985
01:12:30,722 --> 01:12:32,390
I know I'm certainly trying to.
986
01:12:32,515 --> 01:12:34,434
When did the weight gain start?
987
01:12:34,559 --> 01:12:37,145
How do you feel about McKay
blowing your fortune?
988
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:40,023
Are you flat broke?
Reports say you're flat broke.
989
01:12:40,148 --> 01:12:44,527
Billie, when will we hear
Strange Fruit again?
990
01:12:44,652 --> 01:12:47,280
Do you think a former prostitute
should be a role model?
991
01:12:47,405 --> 01:12:48,656
Billie! Ms. Holiday!
992
01:12:51,159 --> 01:12:53,078
Billie! Ms. Holiday!
993
01:12:53,203 --> 01:12:55,205
Lady Day!
994
01:12:58,375 --> 01:12:59,834
Something moved.
Something moved.
995
01:12:59,959 --> 01:13:01,378
What... what the fuck is that?
996
01:13:03,296 --> 01:13:05,465
- What the fuck?
- Oh, my God.
997
01:13:05,590 --> 01:13:06,925
Jesus.
998
01:13:10,595 --> 01:13:12,347
Is... is this
some kind of joke?
999
01:13:14,015 --> 01:13:16,643
- What?
- Is there some... someone in there?
1000
01:13:16,768 --> 01:13:19,062
Oh, fuck. Oh, my God.
1001
01:13:19,896 --> 01:13:21,481
What the fuck?
1002
01:13:22,315 --> 01:13:23,733
Jesus Christ.
1003
01:13:26,319 --> 01:13:27,612
Oh, my God.
1004
01:13:28,947 --> 01:13:31,116
Em?
1005
01:13:37,414 --> 01:13:39,374
- Oh, my God.
- Time to go, children.
1006
01:13:39,499 --> 01:13:40,834
What the fuck
is wrong with her?
1007
01:13:42,043 --> 01:13:46,214
Um, I promised
I would be an open book,
1008
01:13:46,339 --> 01:13:47,715
and welshing ain't cute.
1009
01:13:47,841 --> 01:13:48,925
Well done, kids.
1010
01:13:49,050 --> 01:13:50,468
Very... very charming.
1011
01:13:51,386 --> 01:13:53,805
Uh, so I'll try and explain.
1012
01:13:53,930 --> 01:13:57,684
Whatever chemical compound
she ingested,
1013
01:13:57,809 --> 01:13:59,310
uh...
1014
01:14:00,353 --> 01:14:04,566
Sorry, science is a bit of
a "blah, blah, blah" to me.
1015
01:14:04,691 --> 01:14:05,984
Suffice it to say
1016
01:14:06,109 --> 01:14:10,447
that whatever
is wet inside her body
1017
01:14:10,572 --> 01:14:13,116
is rapidly expanding.
1018
01:14:13,241 --> 01:14:15,577
Is... is that
more or less accurate?
1019
01:14:15,702 --> 01:14:18,496
- More or less.
- You see?
1020
01:14:18,621 --> 01:14:23,710
Wonders happen
when we follow the science.
1021
01:14:23,835 --> 01:14:26,296
Wouldn't you say, dear?
1022
01:14:28,173 --> 01:14:29,966
Don't...
What the fuck are you doing?
1023
01:14:30,091 --> 01:14:32,427
- Oh, my God. Don't touch her.
- Jesus.
1024
01:14:34,095 --> 01:14:36,055
Jesus Christ.
1025
01:14:36,181 --> 01:14:37,640
- Jorg, please.
- He's fucking insane.
1026
01:14:37,765 --> 01:14:39,058
- A towel.
- Move.
1027
01:14:39,809 --> 01:14:41,102
Move, you motherfuckers!
1028
01:14:41,227 --> 01:14:42,562
No! Let me go!
1029
01:14:43,605 --> 01:14:44,689
Get off of me!
1030
01:14:46,357 --> 01:14:48,776
- Nobody leaves!
- I wanna go.
1031
01:14:48,902 --> 01:14:50,403
Let me go.
1032
01:14:50,528 --> 01:14:51,821
- Stay down.
- Okay.
1033
01:14:54,365 --> 01:14:56,743
Fuck! Look at that.
1034
01:14:56,868 --> 01:14:59,120
I mean, will you look at that?
1035
01:14:59,245 --> 01:15:03,249
Why is it
that waterproof foundation
1036
01:15:03,374 --> 01:15:05,376
is never truly waterproof?
1037
01:15:05,502 --> 01:15:06,419
Why?
1038
01:15:06,544 --> 01:15:07,629
Great question.
1039
01:15:07,754 --> 01:15:09,631
And, you know, I...
1040
01:15:09,756 --> 01:15:12,008
I must say something,
I'm afraid.
1041
01:15:12,133 --> 01:15:14,135
Um...
1042
01:15:16,304 --> 01:15:18,389
Many of us here
have worked
1043
01:15:18,515 --> 01:15:23,061
very hard to make this
a once-in-a-lifetime event,
1044
01:15:23,186 --> 01:15:26,731
and I find that
all of you are being
1045
01:15:26,856 --> 01:15:29,442
very, very disruptive.
1046
01:15:29,567 --> 01:15:32,028
Excuse... excuse me.
1047
01:15:32,153 --> 01:15:33,863
- That's dramatic.
- Let me go.
1048
01:15:33,988 --> 01:15:35,281
I just wanna go.
1049
01:15:35,406 --> 01:15:38,326
Excuse me. That's dramatic.
1050
01:15:38,451 --> 01:15:41,788
Now, may we finally begin
the Q and A
1051
01:15:41,913 --> 01:15:43,790
to discuss Caesar's Request?
1052
01:15:50,129 --> 01:15:51,256
Hey, hey, hey!
1053
01:15:56,094 --> 01:15:57,512
Sit!
1054
01:15:57,637 --> 01:15:59,764
Oh, my God.
1055
01:15:59,889 --> 01:16:00,974
Oh!
1056
01:16:02,267 --> 01:16:03,434
Jesus Christ.
1057
01:16:06,271 --> 01:16:07,355
Shut her up!
1058
01:16:14,153 --> 01:16:17,073
- Sit her up.
- Intermission is finished.
1059
01:16:26,207 --> 01:16:27,333
What the fuck is this?
1060
01:16:28,334 --> 01:16:30,503
"What the fuck is this?"
1061
01:16:30,628 --> 01:16:33,006
That's what you said?
"What the fuck is this?"
1062
01:16:33,131 --> 01:16:35,383
So, the first question
1063
01:16:35,508 --> 01:16:39,137
of my first interview
in 30 years is,
1064
01:16:39,262 --> 01:16:41,598
"What the fuck is this?"
1065
01:16:44,100 --> 01:16:48,813
You know, I... I think
I could do better on my own,
1066
01:16:48,938 --> 01:16:51,149
so let's give it a try.
1067
01:16:51,983 --> 01:16:55,153
Uh, Mr. Alfred Moretti.
1068
01:16:55,278 --> 01:16:56,654
Question mark.
1069
01:16:56,779 --> 01:17:00,825
Why did you
1070
01:17:00,950 --> 01:17:06,122
name your new album,
1071
01:17:06,247 --> 01:17:10,209
like, Caesar's Request?
1072
01:17:11,169 --> 01:17:13,504
Thank you for the question.
1073
01:17:14,255 --> 01:17:16,841
And thank you, Billie,
for the invite.
1074
01:17:16,966 --> 01:17:19,427
Well, it's an insane story.
1075
01:17:19,552 --> 01:17:23,306
One day,
while summering on the Cape,
1076
01:17:23,431 --> 01:17:26,434
I was engrossed by an account
1077
01:17:26,559 --> 01:17:30,438
of the time that
Julius Caesar was kidnapped.
1078
01:17:30,563 --> 01:17:34,651
Now, does anyone here
happen to know
1079
01:17:34,776 --> 01:17:37,028
who kidnapped Julius Caesar?
1080
01:17:39,155 --> 01:17:40,907
Pirates.
1081
01:17:44,744 --> 01:17:45,870
Pirates.
1082
01:17:47,038 --> 01:17:48,790
From the mouths of babes.
1083
01:17:49,499 --> 01:17:52,210
You're absolutely right,
Ariel Ecton.
1084
01:17:52,335 --> 01:17:54,462
Now, let me ask you,
1085
01:17:54,587 --> 01:17:59,384
uh, do you happen to know
how Julius Caesar responded
1086
01:17:59,509 --> 01:18:00,802
once he'd been freed?
1087
01:18:03,304 --> 01:18:05,390
He went back with his army.
1088
01:18:05,515 --> 01:18:06,766
To do what?
1089
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,185
Don't disappoint us, now.
1090
01:18:10,687 --> 01:18:14,565
He killed all of his kidnappers.
1091
01:18:15,233 --> 01:18:19,028
Um,
he crucified them, actually.
1092
01:18:19,153 --> 01:18:21,572
Every single one of them.
1093
01:18:21,698 --> 01:18:24,242
No hyperbole,
no foundational myth
1094
01:18:24,367 --> 01:18:28,329
about a man walking on water.
1095
01:18:28,454 --> 01:18:33,501
Just simple, actual
crucifixion for all of them.
1096
01:18:33,626 --> 01:18:36,838
Now tell me, teacher's pet,
1097
01:18:36,963 --> 01:18:39,757
on whom I'm about to place
a big, big bet...
1098
01:18:41,426 --> 01:18:43,344
what's the best part
of the story?
1099
01:18:44,762 --> 01:18:45,888
Um...
1100
01:18:46,848 --> 01:18:49,183
Well, the best part
1101
01:18:49,308 --> 01:18:52,520
of the story is that
1102
01:18:52,645 --> 01:18:57,775
the pirates who kidnapped
the Julius Caesar
1103
01:18:57,900 --> 01:19:00,820
thought he was
a commoner.
1104
01:19:00,945 --> 01:19:03,281
They thought
they were his equal.
1105
01:19:04,282 --> 01:19:07,910
And because
of this misconception,
1106
01:19:08,035 --> 01:19:11,372
they asked the same ransom
for Julius Caesar
1107
01:19:11,497 --> 01:19:14,167
that they would've asked
for any Joe Schmo Roman.
1108
01:19:14,292 --> 01:19:17,545
And this meant that
Caesar was obligated
1109
01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:20,923
to demand a raise in his ransom
1110
01:19:21,048 --> 01:19:24,385
so that it would be commensurate
with his position.
1111
01:19:26,846 --> 01:19:28,931
And what does that tell us?
Well...
1112
01:19:30,683 --> 01:19:34,103
It tells us that royalty,
1113
01:19:34,228 --> 01:19:37,899
even when at the mercy
of peasants,
1114
01:19:38,024 --> 01:19:40,735
is still royalty, doesn't it?
1115
01:19:43,321 --> 01:19:44,447
Doesn't it?
1116
01:19:46,991 --> 01:19:49,786
Now,
what about that story, kids?
1117
01:19:51,579 --> 01:19:54,582
And how about that puppet show?
1118
01:19:54,707 --> 01:19:58,419
The Tragedy of Billie.
1119
01:19:59,921 --> 01:20:02,423
I think that interview
went rather well.
1120
01:20:02,548 --> 01:20:04,425
- Wonderful, wonderful interview.
- No.
1121
01:20:04,550 --> 01:20:06,052
Please, please.
1122
01:20:06,177 --> 01:20:07,220
- Please let me go.
- Stan.
1123
01:20:07,345 --> 01:20:09,096
Please. Please.
1124
01:20:11,349 --> 01:20:12,642
No, no, please.
1125
01:20:12,767 --> 01:20:14,310
I'm sorry.
1126
01:20:14,435 --> 01:20:15,394
Please.
1127
01:20:16,646 --> 01:20:18,481
Stan. No.
1128
01:20:32,203 --> 01:20:33,246
Belle.
1129
01:21:20,126 --> 01:21:21,752
Welcome
to the Rhinestone Chalet,
1130
01:21:21,878 --> 01:21:24,463
Moretti's childhood home
turned interactive museum.
1131
01:21:24,589 --> 01:21:27,091
Did you know that Alfred's roots
come from Peoria, Illinois?
1132
01:21:27,216 --> 01:21:30,011
...feel to you until that day.
1133
01:21:30,136 --> 01:21:31,512
I mean, until that moment.
1134
01:21:36,434 --> 01:21:38,144
Circle back around.
1135
01:22:31,489 --> 01:22:32,740
So jealous.
1136
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,505
You're still pretty.
1137
01:25:13,484 --> 01:25:18,364
...sacrifice of
our beautiful creation.
1138
01:25:18,489 --> 01:25:21,951
See, we can't, uh,
un-paint a canvas
1139
01:25:22,076 --> 01:25:25,579
or un-play a chord.
1140
01:25:25,704 --> 01:25:28,332
And if a mistake has been made,
1141
01:25:28,457 --> 01:25:30,960
either yours or someone else's,
1142
01:25:31,085 --> 01:25:33,170
the only way to rectify it
1143
01:25:33,295 --> 01:25:37,383
is to make something beautiful.
1144
01:25:39,135 --> 01:25:43,681
Now, I've studied
at every temple of taste
1145
01:25:43,806 --> 01:25:46,100
in the entire world.
1146
01:25:46,225 --> 01:25:49,562
I've picked over
every reliquary that exists.
1147
01:25:50,604 --> 01:25:56,485
But I've never seen anything
as beautiful as you pearls.
1148
01:26:01,824 --> 01:26:05,744
We don't know
what tomorrow will bring.
1149
01:26:05,870 --> 01:26:07,037
Maybe we'll all be together...
1150
01:26:10,833 --> 01:26:12,626
Listen to me.
1151
01:26:12,751 --> 01:26:15,504
When you get to the gate,
make a right, okay?
1152
01:26:17,089 --> 01:26:20,134
And then, go until you see
the light, all right?
1153
01:26:22,011 --> 01:26:24,889
But let's hope
it's something beautiful.
1154
01:26:25,014 --> 01:26:27,057
To our time in the sand.
1155
01:26:27,183 --> 01:26:29,185
To our time
in the sand.
1156
01:26:29,310 --> 01:26:30,769
Push me.
1157
01:26:31,395 --> 01:26:32,521
Cheers.
1158
01:26:40,112 --> 01:26:41,322
Cheers.
1159
01:28:23,799 --> 01:28:25,050
Hey.
1160
01:28:25,884 --> 01:28:27,177
Help, help, help!
1161
01:28:27,303 --> 01:28:29,221
- Who are you?
- I was in the house.
1162
01:28:29,346 --> 01:28:31,974
I was there, and people are
dead, and we have to go.
1163
01:28:32,099 --> 01:28:34,143
- You were in there?
- Yes, I was in there.
1164
01:28:35,269 --> 01:28:37,229
Holy shit, you're bleeding.
Are you hurt?
1165
01:28:37,354 --> 01:28:39,106
- Yes, I am hurt!
- Is Moretti hurt?
1166
01:28:40,441 --> 01:28:42,276
Yes, he's hurt,
so we have to go.
1167
01:28:42,401 --> 01:28:43,861
- You met Moretti?
- We have to leave.
1168
01:28:43,986 --> 01:28:45,404
Wait, did he do the
wiggle?
1169
01:28:45,529 --> 01:28:46,739
I bet he did the wiggle.
1170
01:28:46,864 --> 01:28:48,365
Did you hear
the new song...
1171
01:28:48,490 --> 01:28:49,783
I'm so sorry!
1172
01:29:47,925 --> 01:29:50,552
Do you think about why
that Levelist helped you escape that night?
1173
01:29:51,428 --> 01:29:53,472
Or do you mentally try not
to go back to that time?
1174
01:29:56,016 --> 01:29:57,768
Maybe a mix of both.
I don't know.
1175
01:29:57,893 --> 01:29:59,895
I'm... This is, like, my
millionth interview this month,
1176
01:30:00,020 --> 01:30:01,438
so you have to forgive me.
1177
01:30:01,563 --> 01:30:02,689
Book tours are...
1178
01:30:03,273 --> 01:30:04,566
Exhausting.
1179
01:30:04,691 --> 01:30:07,528
- Yeah, exhausting.
- Yes, I'm tired.
1180
01:30:07,653 --> 01:30:10,948
So, you know I gotta ask...
1181
01:30:12,324 --> 01:30:15,619
Is that how it really happened when
you went back to the compound?
1182
01:30:15,744 --> 01:30:17,579
It's... it's exactly
as I wrote it.
1183
01:31:02,458 --> 01:31:04,960
And he was
actually just sitting there alone,
1184
01:31:05,085 --> 01:31:07,754
still in the white suit,
playing the piano?
1185
01:31:08,589 --> 01:31:12,718
I do feel like I've said this
a million times at this point,
1186
01:31:12,843 --> 01:31:16,013
but it was, uh, surreal.
1187
01:31:16,138 --> 01:31:19,892
Cops haven't been able to
locate a single Levelist body.
1188
01:31:20,017 --> 01:31:22,060
They still haven't found
the fan who was at the gate.
1189
01:31:22,186 --> 01:31:23,854
- Just nothing.
- Hmm.
1190
01:31:23,979 --> 01:31:25,439
Um, sorry.
1191
01:31:27,608 --> 01:31:29,193
- Do you mind if I...
- Oh, yeah.
1192
01:31:29,318 --> 01:31:30,569
Thanks.
1193
01:31:32,821 --> 01:31:34,072
Hello? This is Ariel Ecton.
1194
01:31:34,198 --> 01:31:35,574
Ariel. Guess who.
1195
01:31:35,699 --> 01:31:38,368
It's Soledad Yusef calling
from sunny Malibu, California.
1196
01:31:38,494 --> 01:31:40,579
And how do you find yourself
this Monday morning?
1197
01:31:43,290 --> 01:31:44,833
My love? Hello?
1198
01:31:44,958 --> 01:31:48,170
- What do you want?
- Ooh. Someone's spicy this morning.
1199
01:31:49,713 --> 01:31:52,799
But I believe it's more
of what you want.
1200
01:31:52,925 --> 01:31:55,093
Didn't you send in
six interview requests
1201
01:31:55,219 --> 01:31:57,471
to sit down with Mr. Moretti
for your novel?
1202
01:31:57,596 --> 01:32:00,432
Well, you're in luck. Mr. Moretti
would like to sit down this evening
1203
01:32:00,557 --> 01:32:02,601
at the high-risk
state hospital in Reno.
1204
01:32:02,726 --> 01:32:05,020
It's like a medieval torture
chamber, if you ask me.
1205
01:32:05,145 --> 01:32:06,939
Honestly, these states should be
tried for the way they treat people.
1206
01:32:07,064 --> 01:32:08,899
It's just absolutely abhorrent.
1207
01:32:09,024 --> 01:32:10,651
Soledad, you are aware
1208
01:32:10,776 --> 01:32:12,194
that your client,
Alfred Moretti,
1209
01:32:12,319 --> 01:32:15,113
pled guilty to the murder
of five innocent people,
1210
01:32:15,239 --> 01:32:17,491
tried to kill me,
and is suspected
1211
01:32:17,616 --> 01:32:20,369
of leading hundreds
of Levelists to mass suicide?
1212
01:32:20,494 --> 01:32:21,495
He's passionate.
1213
01:32:23,205 --> 01:32:25,082
Ciao, my darling.
Take care of yourself.
1214
01:32:41,056 --> 01:32:43,684
Salutations, as they say.
1215
01:33:01,910 --> 01:33:03,328
Oh, heavy.
1216
01:33:04,913 --> 01:33:06,164
Shall we get started?
1217
01:33:11,628 --> 01:33:12,671
Python.
1218
01:33:13,714 --> 01:33:16,800
- Excuse me?
- Well, in your novel, you wrote that when...
1219
01:33:16,925 --> 01:33:19,136
the first day we met
1220
01:33:19,261 --> 01:33:23,098
that I was wearing
cream-colored alligator boots,
1221
01:33:23,223 --> 01:33:26,893
but in fact, they were
smoke-colored python boots.
1222
01:33:27,019 --> 01:33:30,939
Now, of course, that's an easy
mistake to make for an untrained eye,
1223
01:33:31,064 --> 01:33:33,942
but, uh, I would never.
It's unimaginable--
1224
01:33:34,067 --> 01:33:35,819
In my "novel," you said?
1225
01:33:36,820 --> 01:33:39,948
In my 320-page non-fiction text,
1226
01:33:40,073 --> 01:33:43,452
your biggest gripe is with
the material of your boots?
1227
01:33:43,577 --> 01:33:46,913
You know, it's just, a little
constructive criticism
1228
01:33:47,039 --> 01:33:49,374
never killed anyone, Ariel.
1229
01:33:52,919 --> 01:33:54,171
Okay.
1230
01:33:54,296 --> 01:33:56,131
Um...
1231
01:33:59,176 --> 01:34:02,554
I didn't expect you to be
remorseful like a normal person,
1232
01:34:02,679 --> 01:34:06,558
but I came here
to try to report the truth
1233
01:34:06,683 --> 01:34:08,310
so that there's closure
for the families and--
1234
01:34:08,435 --> 01:34:11,021
And to sell a few more books.
1235
01:34:11,146 --> 01:34:14,983
- Well...
- Ariel, while you circle around and around
1236
01:34:15,108 --> 01:34:18,028
the one question
1237
01:34:18,153 --> 01:34:23,283
that you most assuredly came
here to ask me... Very quickly...
1238
01:34:23,408 --> 01:34:26,370
Primitive man chose their leader
1239
01:34:26,495 --> 01:34:30,540
in the same way that
animals chose their leader...
1240
01:34:31,375 --> 01:34:32,959
uh, brute strength.
1241
01:34:33,085 --> 01:34:36,004
Yeah, I... I'm familiar
with Darwin's theory.
1242
01:34:36,129 --> 01:34:39,675
Uh, what does that have to do
with you being a murderer?
1243
01:34:41,176 --> 01:34:43,595
Man evolved.
1244
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:44,971
Humanity evolved.
1245
01:34:45,097 --> 01:34:48,934
Um, it, uh, created government
1246
01:34:49,059 --> 01:34:50,936
and rules and law.
1247
01:34:51,061 --> 01:34:55,399
And with those things,
then the criteria
1248
01:34:55,524 --> 01:34:58,568
for what was needed
in a leader changed.
1249
01:34:58,694 --> 01:35:02,197
So, it went from this
to left brain.
1250
01:35:03,115 --> 01:35:06,910
To be president, you have to
go to an Ivy League school
1251
01:35:07,035 --> 01:35:09,705
and get a little Ivy League
law degree
1252
01:35:09,830 --> 01:35:14,167
to signal to the rest of us,
the peons,
1253
01:35:14,292 --> 01:35:17,003
uh, that this is
the smart person.
1254
01:35:17,129 --> 01:35:18,839
But look at where we are.
1255
01:35:18,964 --> 01:35:21,883
Today's world is burning,
literally.
1256
01:35:22,008 --> 01:35:25,679
Illiteracy is at its highest.
We've never been more divided.
1257
01:35:25,804 --> 01:35:28,765
We have permanent war,
and the list goes on.
1258
01:35:28,890 --> 01:35:33,353
So, clearly, the metric,
this left-brain metric,
1259
01:35:33,478 --> 01:35:36,064
failed miserably.
1260
01:35:36,189 --> 01:35:39,109
But there is an answer.
1261
01:35:39,776 --> 01:35:41,778
A new evolution.
1262
01:35:43,155 --> 01:35:49,119
So, won't be this anymore
or this left brain
1263
01:35:49,244 --> 01:35:51,163
but this right brain
1264
01:35:51,288 --> 01:35:55,625
where the most creative
are in charge.
1265
01:35:55,751 --> 01:36:00,839
Look, I'm not just gonna sit here and
act like I didn't find Stan's old article
1266
01:36:00,964 --> 01:36:03,717
where he referred to Tilt
as overrated,
1267
01:36:03,842 --> 01:36:07,220
Bianca's rather unflattering
paparazzi shots.
1268
01:36:07,345 --> 01:36:08,972
Not good. Not too pretty.
1269
01:36:09,097 --> 01:36:11,600
And let's not forget Clara's
digs about your bald head.
1270
01:36:11,725 --> 01:36:13,185
And even you can't
wiggle your way free
1271
01:36:13,310 --> 01:36:14,686
after murdering
hundreds of people.
1272
01:36:14,811 --> 01:36:16,897
I didn't murder
hundreds of people.
1273
01:36:17,022 --> 01:36:19,691
You didn't murder Stan Sullivan,
Clara Armstrong,
1274
01:36:19,816 --> 01:36:22,194
Bianca Tyson,
Emily Katz, and Bill Lotto?
1275
01:36:22,319 --> 01:36:23,987
Oh, yeah, I murdered them.
1276
01:36:25,322 --> 01:36:29,576
You should know
your masterpiece, Ariel,
1277
01:36:29,701 --> 01:36:33,622
is also the introduction
to our story.
1278
01:36:35,415 --> 01:36:37,167
No one will condone murder.
1279
01:36:39,377 --> 01:36:43,465
But if it's scandalous enough,
they'll never stop talking about it.
1280
01:36:43,590 --> 01:36:46,551
Besides, you're not gonna stop
becoming Catholic
1281
01:36:46,676 --> 01:36:49,262
'cause you read a book
about the Crusades.
1282
01:36:49,387 --> 01:36:53,558
You're serving a life sentence
five times over.
1283
01:36:53,683 --> 01:36:56,520
Why not just tell us
where the bodies are?
1284
01:36:56,645 --> 01:36:58,188
Where are the Levelists?
1285
01:36:59,314 --> 01:37:00,440
Around.
1286
01:37:01,441 --> 01:37:06,613
We're spread out, but still
connected to teach the young
1287
01:37:06,738 --> 01:37:08,907
and sprout new chapters,
1288
01:37:09,032 --> 01:37:11,201
to preserve dying crafts,
1289
01:37:11,326 --> 01:37:13,411
to inspire and comfort,
1290
01:37:13,537 --> 01:37:16,957
to fan the flames
of raw enthusiasm,
1291
01:37:17,082 --> 01:37:22,546
to closely monitor those
who obstruct the divinely burdened.
1292
01:37:22,671 --> 01:37:25,298
Not hiding but waiting.
1293
01:37:25,423 --> 01:37:27,676
Waiting to better tomorrow.
1294
01:37:27,801 --> 01:37:30,762
So, what was in
the champagne glasses, then?
1295
01:37:33,014 --> 01:37:34,349
Champagne.
1296
01:37:34,474 --> 01:37:36,393
- Okay.
- Oh.
1297
01:37:36,518 --> 01:37:38,728
With talent comes forgiveness.
1298
01:37:38,854 --> 01:37:40,522
The bigger the talent,
1299
01:37:40,647 --> 01:37:43,191
the more complete
the forgiveness.
1300
01:37:44,192 --> 01:37:47,445
Level will grow and grow.
1301
01:37:49,573 --> 01:37:52,868
We just, uh...
1302
01:37:53,451 --> 01:37:56,580
needed someone
to get the ball rolling.
1303
01:37:56,705 --> 01:37:58,039
So, um...
1304
01:38:01,793 --> 01:38:03,336
Come on. You get it.
1305
01:38:06,548 --> 01:38:07,549
So, why me?
1306
01:38:07,674 --> 01:38:08,884
Disco.
1307
01:38:12,053 --> 01:38:14,097
Two reasons, really.
1308
01:38:15,098 --> 01:38:17,058
One for us, one for me.
1309
01:38:17,934 --> 01:38:20,729
For us, we felt
you were a pure vessel,
1310
01:38:20,854 --> 01:38:24,357
completely uncorrupted
by success,
1311
01:38:24,482 --> 01:38:27,485
uncorrupted by cheap shots
for clicks.
1312
01:38:27,611 --> 01:38:30,280
For me, while looking
through your background,
1313
01:38:30,405 --> 01:38:35,243
I read a story you'd written
about a school board lady.
1314
01:38:35,368 --> 01:38:37,871
- Remember that?
- Carol Reggo?
1315
01:38:37,996 --> 01:38:41,875
That piece was less than 500 words.
It was before I was even at J.
1316
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:46,338
You wrote that her chin was
1317
01:38:46,463 --> 01:38:49,716
"delightfully inconspicuous."
1318
01:38:51,843 --> 01:38:55,013
And I needed my chin
in good hands.
1319
01:39:08,526 --> 01:39:11,863
Once in a generation,
a tragedy so compelling occurs,
1320
01:39:11,988 --> 01:39:14,074
it grabs the entire world's
attention.
1321
01:39:14,199 --> 01:39:15,992
Most people condemn
the horrific events
1322
01:39:16,117 --> 01:39:17,869
that took place
a few years ago,
1323
01:39:17,994 --> 01:39:21,164
while a growing minority
sympathize with the guilty party.
1324
01:39:21,289 --> 01:39:22,999
After all, Caesar's Request
1325
01:39:23,124 --> 01:39:26,044
has sold millions of copies
since its release.
1326
01:39:26,169 --> 01:39:27,963
But the one thing
we can all agree on...
1327
01:39:28,088 --> 01:39:30,006
Our next guest is a star.
1328
01:39:30,131 --> 01:39:32,759
Her new book
was an instant bestseller,
1329
01:39:32,884 --> 01:39:35,512
but unless you've been living on
Mars, you already know that.
1330
01:39:35,637 --> 01:39:38,056
Ms. Ecton, good morning.
Congratulations.
1331
01:39:38,181 --> 01:39:39,849
I'm so thrilled to be
sitting down with you today.
1332
01:39:39,975 --> 01:39:42,727
I mean, Our Time in the Sand
is such a daring,
1333
01:39:42,852 --> 01:39:44,229
beautiful novel.
1334
01:39:44,354 --> 01:39:45,772
What does it feel like
to have written the book
1335
01:39:45,897 --> 01:39:47,691
that everybody's talking about?
1336
01:39:54,197 --> 01:39:55,573
Ms. Ecton?
